First things first, this costs just £200! That’s a bargain in anyone’s book, especially as it runs pretty fast for such a basic machine. That’s largely down to a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor. Rounding up the rest of the spec, you get...
So why the low price? Well, there's no mouse, keyboard or monitor for a start. The lack of optical drive could also prove a problem for some people. Graphics too, aren’t much cop, mainly because there’s no dedicated GPU inside. And as for...
